Blades of Khorne
Mighty embodiments of the darkest of mortal emotions and compulsions, the Chaos Gods reside outside of reality. They are eternal beings of near limitless power, abominations who seek to corrupt all they survey. Constantly warring with each other, these deities vie for mastery over the Mortal Realms. In these conflicts there is one who most often stands ascendant.
This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Khorne miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting allegiance abilities to a range of warscrolls and warscroll battalions. The rules are split into the following sections.

Battle Traits
SlaughterhostsKhorne’s mortal hordes and daemonic legions have brought slaughter and destruction to every corner of the realms. Each of these hosts has a favoured method of honouring Khorne, all of which involve shocking, unrelenting violence. You can pick 1 of the following subfactions for your army (core rules, 27.2.1). All BLADES OF KHORNE units in your army gain the keyword of the subfaction you picked, and you can use the allegiance abilities for that subfaction. If a unit already has a different subfaction keyword on its warscroll, it cannot gain another one. This does not preclude you from including the unit in your army, but you cannot use the allegiance abilities for its subfaction.Locus of FuryNothing displeases the Lord of Skulls more than seeing his daemons cast down before blades can be drawn and slaughter unleashed. While a friendly BLADES OF KHORNE DAEMON unit is more than 8" from all enemy units, it benefits from the Locus of Fury. Units have a ward of 5+ while they benefit from the Locus of Fury. If a friendly BLADES OF KHORNE DAEMON unit retreats, it does not benefit from the Locus of Fury for the rest of the battle.Murderous to the LastKhorne’s devotees look for a final kill even in their death throes. Each time a friendly BLOODBOUND model is slain by an attack made with a melee weapon, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 3" of that model and make a murder roll by rolling a dice. On a 5+, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the slain BLOODBOUND model was a HERO, make 3 murder rolls instead of 1.Hatred of SorceryArmies that mass beneath the banners of the Blood God not only share their patron’s scorn for sorcery but are granted resilience against it. Should their rage prove hot enough to burn away foul magics, Khorne will no doubt bestow a blessing upon them. Each time a friendly BLADES OF KHORNE unit is affected by a spell cast by an enemy unit or the abilities of an endless spell summoned by an enemy unit, make a Hatred of Sorcery roll by rolling a dice. On a 5+, ignore the effects of that spell or endless spell’s abilities on that unit and you receive 1 Blood Tithe point.Legions of ChaosWhen an army dedicated to one of the Chaos Gods marches to war, it is often accompanied by hordes of Slaves to Darkness, snarling herds of beast-kin and other corrupted beings with similar goals. A Blades of Khorne army can include coalition units (see below) as follows:
COALITION UNITS Coalition units are ignored when determining if the units in the army are from a single faction. Coalition units cannot be generals.Designer’s Note: Coalition units are not allied units, so the limitations that apply to allied units do not apply to them. This means that coalition units can be given one of your army’s enhancements, as long as they have the correct keywords or are of the correct unit type needed to receive it. | ||
The Blood TitheKhorne’s warriors receive divine rewards from their master when blood is shed; whether the sacrifice is theirs or that of their foes matters not. Once at the end of each hero phase, you can spend your Blood Tithe points on 1 of the Blood Tithe Reward abilities from the list below. Each ability costs the number of Blood Tithe points shown next to its entry, and you can only spend Blood Tithe points on a Reward if you have enough Blood Tithe points to do so.When commanding a Blades of Khorne army, you can earn Blood Tithe points (BP) and spend them to use the Blood Tithe Reward abilities below and to summon units to the battlefield. You begin the battle with 0 Blood Tithe points. Each time a unit is destroyed, you earn 1 Blood Tithe point. ‘Rising Hatred’ and ‘Slaughter Triumphant’ can be picked multiple times in the same battle, and they are cumulative.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Summon Daemons of KhorneAs the battlefield becomes increasingly drenched in the blood of the fallen, and the skulls of worthy combatants pile up in gory tribute, reality itself is torn asunder. From these ragged wounds the daemons of Khorne pour forth into the Mortal Realms, a red tidal wave of slaughter, ferocity and seething rage. If you have any Blood Tithe points at the end of your movement phase, you can summon 1 unit from the list below to the battlefield and add it to your army. Each unit you summon costs the number of Blood Tithe points shown next to its entry, and you can only summon it if you have enough Blood Tithe points to do so. Units must be set up more than 9" from all enemy units and either wholly within 8" of a friendly KHORNE HERO or wholly within 16" of a Skull Altar in your army.

Slaughterhosts
Reapers of VengeanceThe Reapers of Vengeance are a scything axe of destruction, a legion sent to wreak havoc upon those who have drawn the Blood God’s vindictive gaze. Armies that win through wizardry or craven tactics, and those who fight only in order to bring about lasting peace: all have met the same grisly end upon the blades of the Reapers. Brutal Retribution: The commanders of the craven are the first to feel the red-hot wrath of Khorne.Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by friendly REAPERS OF VENGEANCE DAEMON units that target an enemy HERO. In addition, each time an enemy HERO is slain, you receive 1 additional Blood Tithe point. | ||
GoretideThe mere mention of the Goretide is enough to strike fear into the hearts of even the most valiant warriors. Led by their dreaded warlord Korghos Khul, conqueror of a thousand empires, the blood-drunk killers have cut a gory path across Aqshy. Where the Goretide march, carnage and slaughter abound. Tireless Conquerors: Countless empires have burned beneath the relentless campaigns of the Goretide.Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by friendly GORETIDE BLOODBOUND units that target an enemy unit that is contesting an objective you do not control, or that target an enemy unit wholly within enemy territory. | ||
Skullfiend TribeFeared headhunters, the Skullfiend Tribe have refined decapitation into a brutal art form, and delight in nothing more than the sensation of their axes slicing through the neck of a worthy foe. Their determination to claim skulls for Khorne grants them fearsome speed as they hurl themselves into battle. Blood-crazed Berserkers: The warriors of the Skullfiend Tribe charge headlong into the fray, eager to be the first to offer skulls to their patron.If you make an unmodified charge roll of 8+ for a friendly SKULLFIEND TRIBE BLOODBOUND unit, the strike-first effect applies to that unit until the end of the turn. | ||
PATH TO GLORY
The following section includes rules for your Path to Glory campaign if you are using a Blades of Khorne army.
Fuelled by Bloodlust
Beyond the bounds of the Realm of Chaos, Khorne’s daemons maintain their corporeal forms by shedding the blood of their enemies. Those who reap a great tally of skulls are bolstered as the veil between the Mortal Realms and Khorne’s infernal domain grows thin, while those who fail are scorned by their patron and sent back whence they came.
In step 2 of the aftermath sequence, when making a casualty roll for a BLADES OF KHORNE DAEMON unit, if you won a major victory or minor victory, halve the number of dice you roll for that casualty roll (rounding down). However, if you did not win the battle, double the number of dice you must roll instead.The Trial of Skulls
During your Path to Glory campaign, keep a track of how many skulls your warlord has claimed for Khorne in the Notes section on your order of battle. This tally begins at 0 and increases by 1 each time an enemy model is slain by an attack made by your warlord, or by an ability used by your warlord.

Rewards of Khorne

Quests
When you pick a quest, you can pick from the following quests in addition to those in the Core Book.QUEST Glorious SlaughterThe Blood God’s demand for skulls is relentless. Seek out his enemies, bring their decapitated heads as trophies, and your patron will reward you in kind. This quest cannot be completed (after all, Khorne’s bloodlust can never be sated). Instead, while embarked on this quest, you earn 1 glory point each time an enemy unit is destroyed. You earn 2 glory points instead if the destroyed enemy unit was a HERO. | ||
QUEST Karanak’s HuntThe three-headed daemon, Karanak, the Blood God’s most favoured Flesh Hound, seeks out a champion of the enemy to deliver Khorne’s wrath upon them. You have been tasked to aid Karanak’s hunt and let not The enemies of the Blood God impede him. While embarked on this quest, you can include KARANAK in your army in Path to Glory battles even if he is not on your order of battle.At the end of each Path to Glory battle, roll a dice for each friendly BLADES OF KHORNE unit that is wholly within enemy territory. For each 4+, you discover 1 clue as to the whereabouts of Karanak’s quarry. Keep a tally of how many clues you discover. Once you have discovered 3 or more clues, you can fight Path to Glory battles using the ‘The Hounds of Vengeance’ battleplan. Once you have fought a Path to Glory battle using the ‘The Hounds of Vengeance’ battleplan, you complete this quest. The rewards for completing this quest are listed in the battleplan. | ||
QUEST The Great GameKhorne strives for dominance over his three brothers, and any of his servants who can deal a blow to the other Chaos Gods will be greatly rewarded. At the end of a Path to Glory battle, you complete this quest if you won a major victory and the unit picked to be your opponent’s general had the TZEENTCH, NURGLE or SLAANESH keyword.When you complete this quest, you receive 1 additional Reward of Khorne in step 7 of the aftermath sequence. | ||
QUEST Pyramid of SkullsTo the devotees of Khorne, there is no act of worship more worthy than to construct a pyramid of skulls torn from the remains of one’s butchered enemies. At the summit of this grim monument must then be placed the head of a particularly powerful foe. Once this capstone is in place, Khorne will surely shower you with rewards... You can only pick this quest if the Skull-marked Mountain territory is under your control and it has not yet been upgraded with a Pyramid of Skulls.While this quest is on your Path to Glory roster, keep a tally of the number of enemy models slain in battle in the progress section of your quest log. When the tally reaches 87, stop adding to the tally. Your warlord is now searching for the perfect skull with which to cap the pyramid. If you earn a major victory while your tally is 87, and in that battle the unit your opponent picked to be their general was slain, you can complete this quest in the aftermath sequence of that battle. When you complete this quest, you gain 15 glory points and your warlord gains 15 renown points. In addition, your Skull-marked Mountain territory is upgraded with a Pyramid of Skulls. | ||
Veteran Abilities
Each time a BLADES OF KHORNE unit on your Path to Glory roster gains a veteran ability, you can pick 1 of the veteran abilities from the table below instead of the table found in the Core Book.
|
Territories
When making an exploration roll, if the roll is 61-66, that roll will correspond to a territory on the table below. Alternatively, you can pick 1 result from the Territories table in the Core Book that corresponds to a roll of 21-42. Some of these territories allow you to send a unit to them. A unit cannot be sent to more than 1 territory in each aftermath sequence, and any such units cannot be picked for the ‘Borderlands’ territory in the Core Book.
|
Heroic Upgrades
During your Path to Glory campaign, you may be able to pick heroic upgrades for your HEROES. A heroic upgrade replaces the warscroll of a HERO with another, more powerful one and represents them becoming a mighty champion in your army.
You can pick a heroic upgrade in step 7 of the aftermath sequence. To do so, consult the table below and pick 1 of the eligible options. Each heroic upgrade lists the warscroll the HERO will be upgraded to, which warscroll is required, the amount of renown points that HERO must have and the amount of glory points you must spend. Once you have picked a heroic upgrade, replace your HERO’s warscroll on your order of battle with the new one chosen. You can pick only 1 heroic upgrade in each aftermath sequence.
If the new warscroll is a type that is limited on your order of battle - for example, if it is a MONSTER - you will need to have increased your order of battle limits to accommodate it before it can be upgraded.

CORE ENHANCEMENTS
When you pick a heroic upgrade for a HERO, they keep their renown points and any core enhancements that they are still eligible for. If your HERO has any core enhancements that they are no longer eligible for, they lose those core enhancements. If this enables you to pick a new core enhancement for your order of battle, you can do so.

Battleplan The Hounds of VengeanceCommanded by the Blood God himself to join the pack of Karanak, first among Flesh Hounds, you have waged war across the Mortal Realms and left a trail of headless corpses in your wake. Now you have closed in upon the beast’s quarry. You can smell their blood and fear upon the wind. You have them trapped on all sides and there can be no escape. QUEST BATTLEPLAN You can use this battleplan if one player is using a Blades of Khorne army, has embarked on the ‘Karanak’s Hunt’ quest and has discovered 3 or more clues. Use the Path to Glory battlepack.THE ARMIES The player embarked on the ‘Karanak’s Hunt’ quest is the Blades of Khorne player and must use a Blades of Khorne army. Their opponent is the defender.THE BATTLEFIELD The players roll off. The winner sets up the battlefield’s terrain features and then the other player chooses which edge of the battlefield is the northern edge.After the terrain features have been set up, starting with the player who won the roll off, each player picks 1 terrain feature and rolls on the Mysterious Terrain table (core rules, 28.1.3) to determine which scenery rule applies to that terrain feature during the battle. FACTION TERRAIN The defender can set up a faction terrain feature.DEPLOYMENT The defender sets up their army first, wholly within their territory. The defender cannot set up HEROES in reserve. Then the Blades of Khorne player sets up their army wholly within their territory and more than 8" from all enemy units.BATTLE LENGTH The battle lasts until Karanak’s Quarry (see below) is slain, or for 5 battle rounds.FIRST TURN The defender chooses which player takes the first turn in the first battle round.KARANAK’S QUARRY The Blades of Khorne player assigns each enemy HERO a different number from 1-6. If there are more than 6 enemy HEROES, the Blades of Khorne player can pick which 6 are assigned a number. Then, the Blades of Khorne player secretly rolls a dice (for example, by placing it under a cup). The HERO with the number that matches the roll is Karanak’s Quarry (re-roll the dice if no HERO matches the roll).Once per battle, at the start of the Blades of Khorne player’s hero phase, they can choose to reveal who Karanak’s Quarry is. If they do so, they receive a number of Blood Tithe points equal to the number of the current battle round. GLORIOUS VICTORY When the battle ends, if Karanak’s Quarry has been slain, the Blades of Khorne player wins a major victory. Otherwise, if Karanak’s Quarry is within 8" of a battlefield edge, the defender wins a minor victory, and if they are more than 8" from all battlefield edges, the defender wins a major victory.PATH TO GLORY REWARDS The player who wins the battle, can immediately pick 1 territory from their faction terrain table and bring it under their control without spending any glory points to do so. In addition, if the Blades of Khorne player wins the battle, they receive 2D6 glory points.However, if the defender wins the battle, the Blades of Khorne player must make an injury roll for their warlord regardless of whether they were slain or not during the battle, and no glory point can be spent to re-roll the result. This represents Karanak’s inescapable fury as the daemon-hound instead claims from you a measure of that which he should have claimed from the foe...

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, the attack scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits. A hit roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Sometimes an ability will allow a single hit roll to score two or more hits. If this is the case, make all of the wound and save rolls for those hits at the same time.
The BLADES OF KHORNE and PRIEST keywords are used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
20.1 Chanting Prayers
In your hero phase, you can chant prayers with friendly PRIESTS. You cannot chant the same prayer more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different PRIEST.

If the chanting roll is equal to or greater than the answer value of the prayer, the prayer is answered.
Save Roll
Your opponent rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. If the roll equals or beats the target unit’s Save characteristic, the target is saved and the attack sequence ends. If not, the attack is successful and you must determine the damage that is inflicted on the target. An unmodified save roll of 1 always fails. A save roll cannot be modified by more than +1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Designer’s Note: Save rolls do not always succeed on an unmodified roll of 6, and they can be modified by more than -1.
19.1 Casting Spells
In your hero phase, you can attempt to cast spells with friendly WIZARDS. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different WIZARD. In order to attempt to cast a spell, pick a friendly WIZARD, say which of the spells that they know will be attempted, and then make a casting roll by rolling 2D6.

1.5.3 Rolling Off
Sometimes a rule may require the players to roll off. To roll off, each player rolls a dice, and whoever rolls highest wins. If a roll-off is tied, roll off again. You cannot re-roll or modify the dice when you roll off.
3.1 Reserve Units and Summoned Units
Sometimes a rule will allow you to set up a unit in a location other than the battlefield as a reserve unit. A unit that is added to your army once the battle is underway is called a summoned unit.When you set up a reserve unit, either during deployment or once the battle is underway, you must tell your opponent that the unit is in reserve and keep it to one side instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the start of the fourth battle round, units that are still in reserve are destroyed. Units cannot cast spells or use abilities while they are in reserve unless the spell or ability specifically says it can be used by reserve units.
| Reserve units are picked as part of your army before the battle begins, while summoned units are units added to your army once the battle is underway. Models that have been removed from play can be used as part of a summoned unit. | ||
All-out Attack
With a singular purpose, these warriors attack with all of their might.You can use this command ability when you pick a friendly unit to shoot in your shooting phase or fight in the combat phase. That unit must receive the command. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that unit until the end of that phase.
All-out Defence
With consummate skill, these cunning warriors protect themselves from attack.You can use this command ability when a friendly unit is picked as the target of an attack in the shooting or combat phase. That unit must receive the command. Add 1 to save rolls for attacks that target that unit until the end of that phase.
Unleash Hell
These warriors have prepared their missile weapons so they can unleash a devastating volley at the last possible moment.You can use this command ability after an enemy unit finishes a charge move. The unit that receives the command must be within 6" of that enemy unit and more than 3" from all other enemy units. Models in the unit that receives the command that are within 6" of the target unit can shoot in that phase, but when they do so, you must subtract 1 from hit rolls for their attacks and they can only target the unit that made the charge move.
At the Double
Eager for battle, the warriors pick up their pace and surge towards the enemy.You can use this command ability after you declare that a friendly unit will run. That unit must receive the command.
